while I was away...

Aaron was happy to be in charge of Elsie while I was away with my family. It didn't hurt that he was going to his parents house and would have lots of help. He was even able to get away to hang out with his buddies, which makes him very happy!

Elsie helped Grandma make some cookies for Harper's blessing get together. I'm so excited that Elsie is getting to the age where we can do fun things like that. Craft time will be a regular thing at our house!

They all picked me up on Sunday morning to head to Sandy for Harper's blessing. We were a few minutes late for the sacrament meeting (it truly wasn't my fault...even though Aaron would like to think so!). Piper was stressing and rightly so! Gary was the one giving the blessing. But we made it and it turned out wonderfully. After church we headed over to Greg and Piper's for pizza, cookies, and visiting. I wish we could've hung out longer but Elsie was SO tired. It turned out later that she had a fever and wasn't feeling well at all. Her fever never went away, so Monday we relaxed hoping it would. We ended up having to take her to the Urgent Care place that evening because we were getting worried. We wanted to make sure she didn't have another UTI. It turned out to be an ear infection...thank goodness. Not a very exciting end to our vacation, but oh well.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for helping out with Elsie over the weekend. We all had a blast!
